Based on the true story of an devout Catholic Austrian farmer, who refuses to fight in the German Army. Directed by Terence Malick it is truly beautiful with blue grey mountains, and mountains of rich green fields. There is not a lot of dialogue and it felt monstrously long at almost 3 hours, I felt it was a bit self indulgent with drawn out scenes where nothing happens, where 3 minutes of picking leaves or scything fields, deep drawn out looks and staring at the sky , all just became a bit much and it felt like it could have done with being edited down. 2.5/5

I think directors sometimes forget that they make movies for audiences, not for themselves.
